Triple Berry Muffins

September 6, 2013

My eating habits tend to be pretty predictable, especially for breakfast. Once I find something that’s easy and delicious, it will be my go to for weeks – especially if it’s something I can quickly grab and run out the door on weekdays. All rules fly out the window on weekends, because I love making pancakes, or french toast, or biscuits… you get the idea. But weekdays will always be dominated by whatever is easiest. For a long time it was muffins, but recently we veered off into juicing at night (or Josh will wake up early) and I can just grab a mason jar full and walk out the door.

But guys, sometimes I want solid foods in the morning. And sometimes, I just really miss muffins. If you haven’t tried my chocolate raspberry muffins, or my kale muffins, or either of my bakery style muffins or my cherry almond flax muffins, then maybe you don’t know this, but I make a pretty incredible incredible muffin. I’m especially proud of those kale muffins – packed full of antioxidant goodness, but all you taste is chocolate. Win.

For these muffins, I went with berries because I am up to my neck in raspberries (not a complaint!!). Though I made these in mini muffins, they’ll work as full size muffins, too. Sometimes you just have to feel like a giant and pop a million tiny, helpless muffins into your mouth at once, ya know? Because these are naturally sweetened and made with whole grains, I think it’s a perfectly acceptable way to act.

Nutritional information is for 2 mini muffins or 1 standard sized muffin.If making this vegan, opt for agave nectar over honey, as many strict vegans do not eat honey.Any liquid sweetener should work in place of the agave/honey.

The oat flour makes the muffins a little softer and more delicate, as whole wheat flour can be a little harsh. If you like the flavor of whole wheat, then yes you can make that swap. You can also run quick oats through a food processor to get oat flour, if you just don’t want to pick up an extra ingredient. For the flax, you’d also need to remove 3 tbsp of liquid. The texture will be mildly effected, but I think the muffins would be fine, just watch your cook time.

Kelly, these muffins look amazing! And I’m totally with you on the mini muffins … you can eat about 10 and that equals about 1 muffin … right?? My oldest JUST asked me this morning if we could make muffins! And now that I’ve got this tasty recipe in my hand, the answer is YES!! Thanks!! ~Gretchen

Oh gosh I have all the ingredients at home for these too. They just might have to happen. I’ve been wanting a muffin lately…I’ve been thinking about pumpkin chocolate chip muffins too haha! These look awesome
